“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women—I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. [I] grab ‘em by the p***y.”

As everyone knows by now, presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke these words into an “Access Hollywood” “hot mic” in 2005 to the surprise of absolutely no one.

I mean, did anyone really think that The Donald sponsored all of those beauty pageants for their profitability—as if that’s how Gates and Buffett made their fortunes—or did they think he was in it for the intellectual stimulation of the contestant interviews?

When Trump, during Sunday night’s debate, said that, “no one has more respect for women than me,” did anyone—anyone at all—really believe that other than Trump himself?
